In the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals, Bayern Munich will host Inter Milan for the first leg match on Tuesday. Bayern Munich, leading the Bundesliga, comes into this match with four consecutive wins in all competitions. However, they will be missing some important players due to injuries. Inter Milan, currently at the top of Serie A, aims to extend their 10-game unbeaten run.
The match will take place at Allianz Arena in Munich, with kickoff scheduled for 3 p.m. ET.
Bayern Munich will be without midfielder Jamal Musiala, who injured his hamstring in their recent 3-1 victory against Augsburg. This absence could impact Bayern`s scoring ability, especially considering Inter Milan`s strong defense, which has only conceded one goal in eight Champions League matches.
Inter Milan defeated Feyenoord 4-1 on aggregate in the Round of 16 and boasts the best defensive record in the competition this season. This defensive strength will be a key factor against a Bayern team missing Musiala`s creativity.
While Inter Milan has shown strong defense in the Champions League, they have conceded goals in most of their recent games. Both teams possess strong attacking players. Inter Milan`s attack is led by Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram, while Bayern Munich`s offense features Harry Kane and Michael Olise.
Leroy Sané has been performing well recently and is expected to step up for Bayern Munich in Musiala`s absence. He recently scored two goals in a match against FC St. Pauli and had multiple shots in the game against Augsburg.
